As stated in the terms of reference, the report will focus on the poorer sections of the population. The increased density and sprawl of the built areas are the consequence of a number of factors of which the major ones are the physical and geographic features, transport supply, urban policy and the control of urban development, market laws, government aid, the weight of the property developers, consumer sensitivity to building quality and costs, travelling distances, tariffs, the immediate surrounding area, etc. In this report, and in conformity with the terms of reference, we will limit our analysis to the influence of the transport policy on urban development, even though we might occasionally refer to other influential factors with a view to better understand the urban evolution of Greater Cairo. B) THE TRANSPORT POLICY SINCE 1970 Since the Seventies, the transport policy in Cairo has been remarkable for the following aspects: 1. Continuous development of major road infrastructures (bridges over the Nile, urban motorway viaducts, underground carriageways and underpasses, ring roads, radial motorways). Many of these infrastructures are not accessible to public transport in the urban environment, 2. Development of a heavy metro network over 60 km long along the major transit corridors, 3. Partial liberalisation of the surface public transport network resulting in a considerable expansion of private microbus lines, 4. Progressive desertion of the tramway network and abandonment of all trolley- bus lines, 5. Failure to build the planned railway links with the planned new towns, 6. Control and limitation of fare increases on public transport networks in order to progressively make it more accessible to the poorer members of the society, 7. Extension of the bus network at the expense of the density of supply and of regularity, and without creating segregated lanes as recommended in successive transport and urban studies, 8. Absence of consultation between the various authorities in charge of transport despite the recommendations in the various transport and master plans. Ref: 3018/SYS-PLT/CAI/709-00 World bank urban transport strategy review Reportbird-Eng1.doc Edition 3 – Nov. 2000 Page 4/82 The case of Cairo – Egypt EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Moreover, the increase in living standards had the following consequences between 1971 and 1998: 1. Marked increase in the number of cars per household (+ 220 %), 2. Increase in transport mobility (+ 77%) which, together with the sharp population increase, resulted in: 3. a spectacular increase in the number of trips (+ 213%) 4. a more or less marked increase in congestion levels and travelling times depending on the geographic areas. It follows that, in thirty years or so, the market share of the motorised transport modes have been completely turned round : TABLE B1: Evolution in motor transport uses between 1971 and 1998 Motor modes Market share in 1971 Market share in 1998 Car and taxi 13 % 26 % Metro 0 % 17 %* Tramway 15 % 2 % Bus and minibus 62 % 19 % Microbus 0 % 28 % Sundry (ENR, school and 9 % 7 % factory buses, boats) Source: Household surveys in 1971 and 1998 (in travels per main mode). (*) In 2000, since the recent opening of new sections of line 2 of the metro to Cairo University, the market share of metro has reached 20% or so of all motor transports. Ref: 3018/SYS-PLT/CAI/709-00 World bank urban transport strategy review Reportbird-Eng1.doc Edition 3 – Nov. 2000 Page 5/82 The case of Cairo – Egypt EXECUTIVE SUMMARY C) CONSEQUENCES OF THE TRANSPORT POLICY ON MODE SPLIT The relative drop in fare prices (increases less than the inflation rate) has encouraged the use of public transport in the poorer social classes. Conventional surface networks such as buses and minibuses are badly affected by the traffic congestion. The drop in commercial speed generates extra operating costs and affects their attraction. The operating cost of the bus network have steadily increased year after year and are now higher than the operating cost of the metro per passenger per kilometre (taking into account depreciation costs). The metro network serves major North - South travel corridors. Other corridors, which are equally important, do not benefit from efficient and suitable public transport infrastructures, with the result that they suffer from extensive traffic congestion due to the increased recourse to private cars. This mainly affects the East - West corridor between Nasr City and Heliopolis on one side and the wider centre of Cairo and Giza on the other side, where the viaduct motorways are not accessible to public transport vehicles and have undoubtedly encouraged further the use of private cars. The private shared taxi network now accounts for a substantial share of transport modes and has taken advantage of the increasing shortfall in the bus supply. It has now amply demonstrated its economic justification, although this is far from optimum in so far as these small capacity transport vehicles play a major part in the surface traffic congestion. Briefly, the development of the metro network was slower than the increase in the number of travels hence an increase in traffic congestion in certain districts where the metro is not available; this in turn penalises the performances of the bus network leading, among other aspects, to an increase in its operating costs. This situation, together with the policy of economic liberalisation implemented by the country, probably encouraged the development of the private shared taxi network.

TABLE D1: Use of motor transports per household income category in 1998 Income level per Shared taxi CTA bus Metro Private Taxi Bicycles household per car and month motorcycles Under £ 300 38% 28% 16% 7% 2% 1% £ 300 - £ 500 33% 23% 19% 13% 4% 0% £ 500 - £ 1000 24% 15% 19% 25% 6% 0% £ 1000 - £ 2000 14% 7% 14% 39% 11% 0% In excess of £ 8% 3% 7% 57% 13% 0% 2000 No answer 28% 20% 16% 20% 6% 1% Source: 1998 household survey (SYSTRA-DRTPC) £ 1 (EGP) = FRF 2 as of 1/9/2000 Middle and well-off classes with an income in excess of £ 1000 per month and per household account for circa 8% of the population and use the private car or taxi in their majority. Middle classes earning between £ 500 and 1000 per month and per household (over 23% of the population), use virtually exclusively public transport. Their favourite modes of public transport are the metro if available (which only serves part of the urban area) and shared taxis. The poorer classes (under £ 500 per month) which account for more than half the population use more the shared taxis and bus, as well as the metro if available. It should be noted that bicycles and motorcycles are very little used which is paradoxical given the conditions (low acceptable price, flat city). One of the reasons for not using cycles is mainly to do with safety; indeed, riding a bicycle in Cairo in the general traffic is either sheer madness or suicidal. The metro is used by the population as a whole, and there are few variations between the different social classes, which is not the case for other modes of transport. In the metro corridor (which is directly available to 30 % of the population in GCMA situated within 1 km on either side of the line), this mode is Ref: 3018/SYS-PLT/CAI/709-00 World bank urban transport strategy review Reportbird-Eng1.doc Edition 3 – Nov.

    Chapter 4 Logistics-related Facilities and Operation: Land Transport THE STUDY ON MULTIMODAL TRANSPORT AND LOGISTICS SYSTEM OF THE EASTERN MEDITERRANEAN REGION AND MASTER PLAN FINAL REPORT Chapter 4 Logistics-related Facilities and Operation: Land Transport 4.1 Introduction This chapter explores the current conditions of land transportation modes and facilities. Transport modes including roads, railways, and inland waterways in Egypt are assessed, focusing on their roles in the logistics system. Inland transport facilities including dry ports (facilities adopted primarily to decongest sea ports from containers) and to less extent, border crossing ports, are also investigated based on the data available. In order to enhance the logistics system, the role of private stakeholders and the main governmental organizations whose functions have impact on logistics are considered. Finally, the bottlenecks are identified and countermeasures are recommended to realize an efficient logistics system. 4.1.1 Current Trend of Different Transport Modes Sharing The trends and developments shaping the freight transport industry have great impact on the assigned freight volumes carried on the different inland transport modes. A trend that can be commonly observed in several countries around the world is the continuous increase in the share of road freight transport rather than other modes. Such a trend creates tremendous pressure on the road network. Japan for instance faces a situation where road freight’s share is increasing while the share of the other

    THE STRATEGIC URBAN DEVELOPMENT MASTER PLAN STUDY FOR A SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT OF THE GREATER CAIRO REGION IN THE ARAB REPUBLIC OF EGYPT Final Report (Volume 2) 2.5.2 Characteristics of Specific Land Use Categories (1) Commercial area Commercial areas in GCR can be classified into three basic types: (i) the CBD; (ii) the sub-center which includes the mixed use for commercial/business and residential use; and (iii) major shopping malls such the large size commercial facilities in relatively new urban areas. The CBD is located in downtown areas, where there are mixed-use buildings that were established long ago and partly accommodate shops and stores. The major sub-centers in the main agglomeration are Shobra, Abasia, Zamalek, Heliopolis, Nasr city, Maadi in Cairo governorate and Mohandeseen, Dokki, Giza in Giza governorate. The recent trend following the mid-1990’s can been seen in the construction of shopping malls which are commercial complexes comprising a movie theater, restaurants, retail shops, and sufficient parking space or a parking building attached. These suburban shopping malls are mainly located in Nasr city, Heliopolis city, Maadi, Shobra, and Giza. Source: JICA study team Figure 2.5.3 Location of Major Commercial Areas in main agglomeration (2) Industrial area The following map shows location of concentration of industrial areas in Study area. There are seven industrial areas in NUCs, five industrial areas under governorates, and two public free zones in the study area. The number of registered factories is 13,483 with a total area of 76,297 ha. Among those registered factories, 3 % of factories can be categorized as large-scale which have an investment cost of more than LE10 million, or more than 500 employees.
